Setting Up Currency Fields for Banking and Brokerage


The default input format for currency fields is Numeric. This configuration allows only whole currency (for example, dollars) and not fractional currency (such as cents) to be entered. This configuration is achieved by entering format="*N" in the HTML Attribute for the currency fields.

For Siebel Wireless Banking and Brokerage, the default input format should be changed to Character, so that users can enter fractional currency for paying bills and transferring funds. This change affects currency fields in Bills Payments and Funds Transfer views. You change the default input format to Character by deleting the HTML attribute in the field configuration.

To change default input formats to Character from Numeric

  1. In Siebel Tools, in the Object Explorer, select the Applet object.
  2. In the Applets window, select the appropriate wireless applet.
  3. For example, select the SWLS Banking Funds Transfer form applet for the funds transfer function.

  4. Open the Applet Control window from the Object Explorer.
  5. In the appropriate control row (for example, Amount), scroll to the HTML Attributes cell.
  6. The entry is format="*N"

  7. Delete the entry and leave the cell empty.
